VM migration
Hi,
This is very interesting issue. Please read without any assumption.
I have 2 vCenter. vCenter 5.5 and vCenter 6.5. I have DatasTore 001 mapped to vCenter 5.5.
we have presented the same LUN to vCenter 6.5 as well.
So I am removing VM from 5.5 environment and registering again to 6.5 by registering VMS.
So far I have migrated more than 20 VMs , no isssues.
The issue is that I have one VM in DataStore 002 presented to both 5.5 and 6.5. But I can not see the VM folder when I am looking from 6.5 as if they are different DataStore.
As test, I create an TEST folder from 5.5 in the same DataStore and I am able to see it on the same DataStore from 6.5
Note : ALL LUNS are in SAN and yes ALL DataStores presented all The hosts in both 5.5 and 6.5 hosts
any idea ! and please I am not looking any other way to migrate. Just trying to understand why I am not seeing same files on the same datastore

VMware, a software company founded in 1998, was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies. VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture. Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

Datastores are connected to Hosts, and Hosts are Managed by vCenter Server.
The missing Datastore002, does it appear as a datastore or not ?
is the LUN present on the ESXi 6.5 host ?
